mrudolph Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hello, Since the 7.6 update went through, when I launch Retrospect.exe from any shortcut of the direct exe, it opens the monitor. I have no visible way of getting rid of it to actually open Retrospect. Any ideas? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Try a restart of the computer. If it keeps happening, rename the Retromonitor.exe to .old so that it is disabled and unable to prevent a Retrospect launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrudolph Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yeah, I found this post just now: http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27922/ I guess I didn't search hard enough. Thanks for the reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haxrchick Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 This problem has been occurring to me ever since I set up Vista 64 with Retrospect 7.6 several months ago. I just cannot get it to consistently work. When the monitor starts opening, as explained here, the only fix I've found is to uninstall and reinstall Retrospect, which I'm just not willing to do every week. I don't understand why we should have to start a separate thread and waste MORE of our time on this issue. Several people are having this same problem. I don't know what else I can add. Is there a fix to this yet? Or is there yet another thread I need to go look at and post to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmj135 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 this seems somewhat related, but I found that if I was connected to the server running retrospect through remote desktops there wasn't a way for me to start retrospect (only the monitor would come up). I had to connect via dameware to work with the session that was running the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witchdoctor Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks! This worked for me. Now it correctly says "Retrospect is running in another session; click OK to take over." Ah, stuff like this. I always forget the year is 2009 whenever I deal with Retrospect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criminala Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 We recently migrated retrospect 7.6 to a 2008 x64 server and are experiencing the same issue . Only the activity monitor will come up showing that the backup is running , but impossible to get full retrospect running . Not in RDP , not on console itself . Retrospect is running under the same user as the one i am logging in with (configured in retrospect itself) . Should the service itself also run under the same user ? Or do we keep that the default (System+interaction with desktop allowed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
